Private Counseling & Psychotherapy

A Happier, Healthier You

Do you struggle with aspects of your life you wish could be different? Perhaps it's the way you feel or a certain behavior you find problematic. Maybe your concern involves your relationships with others or thoughts about yourself. I can help you change that. I believe that much of life is about balance. When our lives become out of balance we often feel hurt, stressed, angry, overwhelmed, or misunderstood. I have a strong interest in helping you achieve (or restore) the balance and peace you seek in your life, and I know that together we can achieve that goal.
Often the path of psychotherapy involves perspective taking. Examining and understanding your experiences from a different place can help you find new meaning in them. We can work from a brief model of treatment focused on symptom relief or engage in a longer term therapeutic process moving toward deeper healing.
I can work with you individually, or with your partner and/or family as well. So, if you are ready to find new perspective, new meaning, and a new balance in your life, take the first step toward change and contact me today. Let's start working together.

Psychological Consultation

Get "Un-Stuck"

Are you feeling stuck or as if you are missing something? Whatever your role, (student, metal health professional, business leader, or other professional), we can all benefit from an outside perspective from time to time. Psychological Consultation is a method to help you get out of that "stuckness" and see things form another angle, by receiving feedback from a professional with expertise in human behavior, relationships, and group dynamics. Consultation differs from psychotherapy or counseling in that it is typically time-limited, not considered mental health treatment, and is focused on achieving a specific goal or change, frequently in one's professional (rather than therapeutic life). At the same time, there are occasions were consultation can be an appropriate method in the therapy process. If interested, I can talk with you and your current treatment provider about the appropriateness of such an intervention. 

Forensic Services

Where Psychology Meets the Law

At times legal matters can specifically benefit from psychological consultation in situations where the law and mental health intersect. I have experience in consulting with prosecuting, defense, and family law attorneys and in providing assessment and treatment services, education, or other consultation in relation to the needs of those professionals. I have  authored forensic opinions and/or testified as an expert witness in Michigan District and Circuit courts as well as in United States District Courts regarding issues of sanity (mental state at the time of the offense), competency to stand trial, sentencing, clinical psychology, and sex-offender related issues (including treatment and risk assessment). I am a  Consulting Forensic Examiner in the State of Michigan.
